If you have been following us for a while, you will know that Pure Gem Chinese Cuisine is one of the Chinese restaurants I return to time and time again.
Known for its quality Teochew and Cantonese cuisine, live seafood, and elegant setting in the CBD, Pure Gem has consistently impressed me with its well-executed dishes. This National Day, they are adding a fun local twist with Singapore-inspired chilli crab creations, and honestly, the promotion is too good to miss.
Celebrate SG61 with a Complimentary Chilli Crab Special
Spend at least S$61 on regular-priced dishes in a single receipt, flash this article, and receive a complimentary SG61 special. The promotion runs until 31 August.
If you’re dining here for lunch, simply spend S$61 on regular-priced dishes and you’ll receive a complimentary serving of the Singapore Chilli Crab Pan-Fried Bun (星洲辣椒蟹肉生煎包). Its base is beautifully crisp and golden, while the top remains soft and fluffy. Inside, instead of the usual pork filling, is a rich chilli crab mixture that captures everything people love about the national dish — the sweetness of the seafood, gentle heat from the chilli gravy and that unmistakable savoury depth.
The evening special takes a different approach. Spend a minimum of S$61 and you’ll be treated to the Singapore Chilli Style Prawn Balls (星洲辣椒虾球) instead. The prawn balls are wonderfully plump and bouncy, generously coated in a glossy Singapore chilli-style gravy that’s sweet, savoury and mildly spicy. The sauce is so addictive you’ll want to spoon every last drop over a bowl of rice. Best of all, you get all the comforting flavours of chilli crab without having to crack shells or dirty your hands. It’s a clever, fuss-free take on one of Singapore’s best-loved dishes.
This “Complementary Chilli Crab Special” promotion is valid till 31 August.
Here is another piece of good news! Pure Gem members will get to enjoy three vouchers—11% OFF weekday lunch, 22% OFF dinner and 33% OFF dinner, with absolutely no discount cap! Don’t miss it, available until 30 September!

Served bubbling hot, the Braised Shark’s Fin in Traditional Teochew Style (潮式怀旧碗仔翅, Now $38, U.P. $68) is everything one expects from an old-school banquet favourite. The broth has been simmered until full of flavour, making every spoonful silky and full-bodied.

For something more substantial, the Hokkien-Style Braised Rice with Diced Sea Cucumber in Abalone Sauce (鲍汁海参粒福建烩饭, Now $28, U.P. $48) delivers exactly the kind of comfort its appearance promises.

Seafood Worth Planning Ahead For
If you’re a crab lover, Chilled Drunken Yellow Cream Crab (熟醉黄膏蟹, advance order is required) is a must-order. The chilled crab is packed with rich golden roe, while the marinade is fragrant with Chinese wine without being overpowering. The sweet crab meat absorbs the aromatic marinade beautifully, making every bite indulgent and refreshing.
A bowl of soup that clearly takes hours of preparation. The Double-Boiled Pig’s Stomach Soup with Kampung Chicken and Conpoy (干贝猪肚土鸡汤) is incredibly rich, thanks to the kampung chicken and dried scallops. The pig’s stomach is tender without any gaminess, resulting in a nourishing soup that’s both comforting and flavourful.
For those craving something more robust, the Sri Lanka Crab in Hong Kong Typhoon Shelter Style (避风塘炒斯里兰卡大肉蟹) is difficult to ignore. Crisp garlic, toasted crumbs and fragrant spices cling to the naturally sweet crab. Every bite is packed with texture and fragrance, making it incredibly addictive.
For adventurous seafood lovers, this Teochew style of Marinated Red Cream Mud Crab (生腌红膏蟹, advance order is required) is worth trying. The soy-based marinade enhances rather than masks the sweetness of the crab, while the rich roe brings a luxurious creaminess that pairs beautifully with plain rice.
A Reason to Gather
